+1 to this.

I think it makes sense to start with the big mechanical changes and try to do 
it in a single “change the world” commit to avoid disrupting version control 
history too much.  After that is done, the many various refactorings (fixing 
dependence cycles, improving the testing situation to be more lit like, sinking 
functionality into LLVM and reusing existing LLVM functionality more, etc) can 
all be done in parallel and independently over time.
